Community Hospitals
Community hospitals often act as a bridge between hospital and home, particularly for elderly patients who may need rehabilitation to help them regain their independence as they recover from an illness.
The number of inpatient beds each community hospital provides varies, as does the range of services they offer.
Many community hospitals also provide day services, outpatient clinics, and therapy services. Some also provide Minor Injury Units.
There are nine community hospitals in Oxfordshire. For further information on each hospital, please visit Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust's new website, www.oxfordhealth.nhs.uk or click on the links below:
Community hospitals can provide intermediate bed-based care for patients following treatment or surgery at an acute hospital. They act as a bridge between hospital and home, particularly for elderly patients who may need rehabilitation before being able to look after themselves at home, with the support of our community nursing team.
